In Quintana Roo, government officials and legislators are advancing initiatives focused on expanding rights and protections for specific demographics. 

Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa initiated a public consultation for the Law of the Rights of Young People, inviting citizens aged 12 to 29 to contribute to a legal framework covering education, employment, and health. 

Concurrently, state legislators have introduced reforms to promote inclusive education. These proposals include making Mexican Sign Language a mandatory part of basic education to support the hearing-impaired community and reforming the State Education Law to protect neurodivergent students, such as those with autism, from discrimination and segregation.
